Due to the fact that this property lacks privacy curtains while under construction, I did not feel comfortable anytime during my stay. As a female traveling alone, this was very upsetting, it was like staying in a glass house. The only place of privacy is in the bathroom and the bedroom. I woke up to strange men milling around the unit, on more than one occasion. Not to mention the scaffolding that was placed on my second day there completely marring the view that the property's main attraction. There is construction material all around the unit, ( scaffolding, piles of wood, construction trash bin, etc) There was even a beer can on the ground by a pile of wood near the entrance that no one bothered to pick up during, my entire 5-day stay. The host should not advertise this as a vacation rental while the property is in this condition. The directions the host gave me to the property started mid-way to the property, not from the airport, ferry, or Seaplane. Simpler directions could have been given to avoid to the guest upon arrival. I have lived on St Croix and got turned around using those directions. It is really only four turns to the property from the airport. The hill up to the property is steep and has tight curves, be careful. The road to the property is extremely rough. you cannot rent a car to get to this property, you will tear the undercarriage apart. I could even allow local friends to visit me due to the condition of this road. The host requires quiet time between 10 pm and 7 am. However the I did not get much quiet time to study with the small child running around all day above me. This was not a place to relax, it was like staying in a rented inner-city apartment, which is NOT what I came to St Croix for. When all the construction is completed I have no doubt this will be a wonderful place to stay, until then the host would do well to realize that guests need privacy curtains and quiet time for themselves too. Final note, there is NO A/C in this unit. The only ceiling fan is in the bedroom. There are two floor fans in the unit, If you need A/C this is not the property for. As a past resident of St Croix, I know how to use the winds to my advantage to cool off the unit. The winds are finicky and the unit doesn't always cool to the low 70's in the fall, and never in the summer. The host has no control over this, just FYI. More transparency in the listing of this property should have been given in the listing.

First,...we didn't even stay at the property. We got no specific instructions for entry into the property and no answers to our calls. When we arrived we discovered what could only be described as a construction zone. I had no idea what part of the home was "ours" and had to discover the flat by trying to open several doors. The home was obviously in a state of major construction with lumber and supplies/trash piled up all around (see photos). Lastly, once we did gain access, we discovered the rental had no AC. I understand why that might be renters due diligence, but honestly if you're renting to people that are quite used to that (who isn't on vacation in a tropical climate?!) Then disclosure of no AC should be made in my opinion! If VRBO wants to do the right thing, they would credit us half our rate. We ended up paying for a hotel on the fly. This is my first bad experience with flat rental...and I won't soon forget it.

Dirt road to apartment is overgrown during heavy rain will need jeep to navigate dirt road.

We stayed there for 3 nights with our older son. The apartment is facing the ocean with a great view over the Christiansted area, up on the hill, and is very quiet. You will need a 4WD for the last 150 yards to the house, but you will benefit from it anyway give the road system on the island;-) We mostly enjoyed Cane Bay with diving The Wall - the 2nd best shore diving area in the world.
